Nonlinear analysis and continuum mechanics

Descripción

The chapters in this volume deal with four fields with deep historical roots that remain active areas of research: partial differential equations, variational methods, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics. The collection is intended to serve two purposes: First, to honor James Serrin, in whose work the four fields frequently interacted; and second, to bring together work in fields that are usually pursued independently but that remain remarkably interrelated.
